I’ve been shooting this gun for 2 years. About 2000 rounds through it. Been doing an informal class with drills lately and at the last one I had about 10 RTB failures. It was a mess. Never had this before. I cleaned it well before and after the issue. Here’s the weird things: If I rack it...

I have a threaded Ruger 77/357 and a 358 suppressor. I'm looking to load heavy copper plated X-Treme Bullets 158g in 357 brass. I have 38 special brass but don't want a powder ring in my chamber (it's only ever shot 357 brass). Looking to stay just under subsonic as this will be a nighttime...

Most all of us mourned the loss of NEF single shot shotguns, I had 1 that had a bent barrel and sold it a decade ago. I wanted a compact shotgun for my cabin and went down the rabbit hole of these hyper-folding single shots. No less than 6 companies make a few variations but after researching...

I have a 77/357 (which I’ve read drops into a 77/22 or 77/17 stock) which has almost no aftermarket stock options. Does anyone have a 77/22 and 10/22 who can check if this is feasible? I understand I will have to modify it somewhat, just wondering if the holes and clearances are somewhat...

I have been working up a deer round for my Tikka with a 24" barrel. I'm at 43gr H4350 now but only getting 2720 FPS. I have no pressure signs whatsoever (nice rounded primers with no cratering and no bolt face impression) and have seen a lot of guys going above 43gr. I was hoping to get above...

I haven't had a 22 Mag in years and am looking to get a new one. This will be gun that will be carried around, not shot from the bench much. The perfect gun would be a CZ 457 Scout in 22 Mag but I don't think they make them... All their other options either don't have a threaded barrel (not...

We do a week-long island deer hunt (Northern Whitetails). 7 days, no resupply, and a helicopter is the only way to leave early. This week be my 5th time doing the hunt. I've come to love 357 and 44 Mag rifles, but now have 3 of them and can only bring 1. Most shots are between 10 and 75 yards...

I got this CZ Bobwhite G2 20 gauge in 2019 and have used it exclusively for partridge, Woodcock, rabbit, turkey, and a little skeet. I liked it when it was new but LOVE it after getting used to it. It's traditional with the straight stock and double triggers but the G2 version is very modern...

I have mostly 12 gauge shotguns, a few 20 gauge (which I've come to love) my Dad loves his 16 gauge, my uncle shoots turkey with a 10 gauge, and my hunting buddy uses a 28 gauge and 410. In my short lifetime they have all become far more effective. When shotguns were created they were...

I have always shot 12 gauge for hunting (rabbit, forest birds, turkey, etc) and sporting clays but last year I picked up a CZ 20ga side by side and a cheap single shot also in 20 gauge. Like so many things I now find myself wanting to complete a collection and also buy something my kids can...

I got a stainless T3X in 6.5 Creedmoor (my first 6.5) and topped it with a Leupold CDS scope. Hoping to build a 500 max yard deer gun with this setup. I reload for all my deer rifles (currently 30-06, 7mm-08, 44 Mag, and 357 Mag) so I'll be loading for the 6.5 too. I've been buying parts and...

I lent out a few rifles this year to a friend and his son and by chance switched scopes on my 2 main deer rifles and haven't sighted them in yet. I was left with a 44 Mag 1894 and my slew of ARs. I have been hunting since the opener with my 44 Mag rifle but this weekend I took out a nice...

Most of my hunting occurs in Michigan, I have lever rifles in 44 and 357 and bolt action covered with 357, 7mm-08, and 30-06. My 30-06 is a beautiful blued walnut Model 70 and my 7mm-08 is a Savage I don't care much about but also blued and wood. I am looking to get a new stainless rifle for...

When I carry my compact 5-shot revolvers or while hunting my 6-shot revolvers I always carry a speed strip or two. It's stupid not to, right? While it's only another couple ounces I will admit that strip of rounds does get annoying when I'm biking or walking 15 miles in a day of hunting. I...

I'll own my first N-Frame next week when it comes in on Monday. I usually tend to buy smaller revolvers (SP101 4.2", 357 LCR, a number of J-Frames, etc) and carry them exclusively in quality OWB leather holsters. My first instinct for the 629 is a Sourdough Pancake holster but I fear even that...

Growing up we used our Dad's break-barrel pellet rifle extensively for hunting squirrels and gamebirds around the family cabin. All 3 of us boys would leave with the one pellet gun and a tin of pellets for a day of fun. We didn't know how to properly shoot a pellet rifle or how to maintain it...

I got out coyote and turkey hunting a few times this winter and like to think about things in the woods. I took my straight stocked double barrel turkey hunting and hardly noticed it when walking through brush. Same think for my 357 lever action even with the scope mounted. When I bring an AR...

Our govener recently passed an order at the threat of $1000 fine and up to 6 months in jail that we cannot go to our cabin on private property 1 hour North of us. We use this cabin almost weekly and I have a turkey license that starts next week for the area around my cabin. Our cabin is totally...

I have a gun safe with my rifles and shotguns in it and a smaller safe for my handguns. I have a few ARs in cases (with mags etc in each case) and a couple breakdown shotguns in dedicated cases. They don't store well in a safe and are safe now from my toddlers on the top of my storage shelves...

In a rifle we all are taught the crown of the barrel is there last thing that touches the bullet and therefore it is extremely important for accuracy and consistency. A tiny nick or aggressive cleaning can ruin the barrel. Then we move to shotguns and the crowns look like a mouth full of...
